Comment: This med puts me through hell. Nausea, Tinnitus, severe dizziness, blurred vision, photosensitivity, racing heart beat/flutters, severe pain various areas (but was determined to complete regime for several items including cat scratch fever. Hopefully, worth it at 77 years old and dozen of other conditions

Comment: I've been on this medication multiple times; upper respiratory, ear infection, sinus infection, strep, and UTI (not usually prescribed for urinary tract infections). I love this medicine; in fact, I love all the mycins. I've had horrible side effects with other antibiotics such as Bactrum (sp) and Cipro. No side effects and makes me feel great!

Comment:I've been on this medication multiple times; upper respiratory, ear infection, sinus infection, strep, and UTI (not usually prescribed for urinary tract infections). I love this medicine; in fact, I love all the mycins. I've had horrible side effects with other antibiotics such as Bactrum (sp) and Cipro. No side effects and makes me feel great! I don't even know I'm on antibiotic, and to me, that's a big deal. Every medicine works differently with each person, our bodies are not all the same. However, I've never experienced any side effects others have posted about on here. My personal opinion is that it's the best antibiotic out there and have heard the same from family and friends who've been on this. It's always cleared up my infections completely. Hide Full Comment

Comment: My doctor prescribed this for a sinus infection. I have not been able to sleep since I started taking the medication. It makes me restless and anxious. I'm so tired but I can't sleep. I do suffer from occasional bouts of anxiety. But I've never missed this much sleep. My last dose is tomorrow. I can't wait to be done!! In the meantime, I'm still not better.

Comment: Inner earache, including tinnitis, that won't go away for a year. I have severe abdominal cramps w/a bit of nausea after taking 3 days of this med. I have stopped the z-pack. The inner earache and tinnitis still exists.

Comment: After 3rd day of taking my hands were swollen and skin was very red with blisters. Had to hold ice bag for 2 days to keep my hands from hurting; the pain was very bad. Once medications was out of my system my hands then peeled from having the blisters. Will never use again.
